Sony PSP2: Release Date Reveal is January 27th

We have some exciting news to bring you now, as it looks set that Sony will finally announce the PlayStation Portable 2, or PSP2, at the end of this month at a special event being held in Tokyo, Japan.

You may have read similar news over at MCV a few days ago, but now Bloomberg has written up their report of the news as well, stating that the PSP2 will be announced to the world on January 27th – a Thursday.

Bloomberg has stated that the information has come from two people with ‘knowledge’ of Sony’s plans – without revealing who they are, obviously. With that said and done, we feel it is a safe bet to mark the 27th date down in your calendars.

We know that the device is going to feature two analogue sticks as well as a touchpad located at the back of the system. You’ll also get front and back cameras, and the inclusion of a built-in mic at the front – pretty tasty features you have to agree. Are you buying the PSP2 on launch date? If the announcement is made this month, it is likely that we’ll see a release towards the end of the year.
